7 <br /> County's steering committee to receive comments and changes to finalized options and community survey. The <br /> survey will be released to the community.The community will also have access to the priorities of the County and <br /> data set that was used to inform these priorities. <br /> The Team will review the survey results with the County's steering committee.This virtual meeting will provide for <br /> the framework of the recommended options to be presented to the Board. <br /> Recommendations <br /> The Team will finalize the draft recommendations for consideration.The Team will engage in person with the <br /> County's steering committee and to review and potentially modify the draft recommendations. <br /> The Team will review the final report,with the County steering committee, prior to final submission to the County <br /> Board.The Team will submit and present to the County Board the final report. <br /> Benchmarking and Best Practices <br /> The Team will use the assessment data to calculate a facility condition index for each facility and campus. The <br /> replacement value for all facilities will be a cost per square foot value relevant to the school type(elementary <br /> school, middle,or high school)that reflects a theoretical cost to replace the facility. <br /> The Team will deliver a report outlining best practices and considerations for capital planning based on our <br /> collective experience for project/program management, contracting, maintenance,and financing. Additionally, <br /> our team will research regional and national trends in the aforementioned categories, including these findings in <br /> our report. Results of the analysis will be reviewed with the County prior to production of final deliverables.The <br /> intent of this analysis is to provide the County with the various options available to make informed decisions for <br /> future activities. <br /> Project Planning <br /> Woolpert will leverage Brightly Software's Capital Predictor and Work Planner solutions to develop the Project <br /> Planning deliverables.Capital Predictor models will be developed based on the County's asset/equipment <br /> inventories and FCA inspection results. Using these models,the Team will generate and analyze multiple Capital <br /> Plan scenarios to determine the most effective and optimized repair/replace strategies given different funding <br /> scenarios. Once the desired Capital Plan results are achieved,we will utilize the Work Planner tool to package the <br /> recommended repair/replace activities into manageable work packages(projects, phases)with guidance provided <br /> by County team members.The Team will facilitate a series of on-site workshops over two days with OCS and CCHS <br /> to bundle projects and determine various scenarios.The team anticipates providing up to three scenarios total of <br /> funding or projects. <br /> Capital Predictor and Work Planner do not track construction programs. However, OCS and CCHS can move the <br /> projects from Capital Predictor and Work Planner into Brightly's Asset Essentials CMMS platform to manage <br /> project performance via work orders. OCS already uses a legacy version of Brightly's work order management <br /> software that can be upgraded to Asset Essentials. <br /> The Project Planning results will be published to the Capital Predictor/Work Planner reporting environment that <br /> County staff will be able to access via logins that will be provided.We will also provide the output in pdf and <br /> Microsoft Excel files. <br /> If OCS or CCHS wish to enter an annual subscription plan with Brightly to use and maintain Brightly Capital <br /> Predictor,Work Planner, and/or Asset Essentials following this project, budgetary pricing is available in Appendix <br /> B. <br />
